Fisheries of the Northeastern United States; Summer Flounder, Scup, and Black Sea Bass Fisheries

요약

NMFS issues the final specifications for the 1998 summer flounder, scup, and black sea bass fisheries. The intent of this document is to comply with implementing regulations for the summer flounder, scup, and black sea bass fisheries that require NMFS to publish measures for the upcoming fishing year that will prevent overfishing of these species. NMFS announces that no quota is available in several states for specified 1998 fisheries as follows: the State of Delaware is notified that no commercial summer flounder or Summer period commercial scup quotas are available in 1998; the State of New Hampshire is notified that no Summer period commercial scup quota is available for 1998. NMFS advises vessel and dealer permit holders that no commercial quotas are available for landing those species in those States during the specified time periods.
